To alter to meet newly canon things, or not? · 8:41am Apr 17th, 2018
It appears Trixie's real father has been identified, courtesy of this last episode. Kinda makes me wonder if she’s the result of an special-”private-performance”-after-a-show or some such. But anyways....
The revelation poses the question if I should make some changes to the story, namely pulling every instance of “Presto Lulamoon” and replacing those with “Jackpot,” not to mention any discussion of tricks (since Jackpot also does this shtick on stage, and not a close-up routine). I dunno. What do you guys think?
I'd say leave it. Plenty of stories have been rendered inaccurate by later canon, yet they continued in their own AUs.
Also, the credits name him as Jack Pot. Personally I trust the show over the merch.
never alter the story to match new canon. It's pointless and a never-ending clusterfuck that can ruin a story. If it got revealed that Rarity killed a man in Rio, just to watch him die, would you add that to the story?
Hmm I think it depends on how easy it is to change... if it is something minor as just a name it may be worth it as it makes the fanfic more friendly to late arrival readers.
